Scientists Actually Analyzed — and Determined — the Best Way to Hold a Burger

In what was thankfully an experiment set up by a Japanese game show (we're hoping that no accredited university would pay money for this type of burger exploration), researchers actually analyzed the best way to hold a hamburger. According to Foodbeast, a show called "Honma Dekka!?" (we love the double punctuation) had three scientists on air as guests who were "experts in fluid mechanics, engineering, and dentistry, try to figure out the best way to hold and eat a large hamburger."

Ultimately, the trio decided on the spanned fingers approach, which, we have to say, actually sounds like a good idea. Put your thumbs and pinkies on the bottom of the burger, and your middle three fingers on top. This should hold all the contents inside the buns for the duration of your burger eating experience.
